I was just looking at these and saw some vids and they look pretty wicked. I was thinking 2 of the BL12's. What would be the best way to go with the ohms? What kind of amp would need to run 2 of these?

From everything I hear about them they are beasts, When I save the money up I'm gonna put the 18 inch btl in an beat the blazer to pieces, but anyways, I know a lot of people who have them, run the hifonics brutus line of amps, if that helps any.

I know nothing about those subs, but I would get a 1000 watt amp.

Would you need just a 1000 watt mono amp? Or a 2000 watt 2 channel? I have no idea lol.

Looks like I forgot the link... https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...iew.shopscript

I don't know that much about the whole system thing. I usually just buy subs from friends and find an amp from another friend and play around until it works...

To find the right amp, use the rms rating, not the peak rating, and find an amp that has an rms rating at or slighly below the subs rms rating. A 2 channel amp will be the most logical choice for two subs so you don't have to bridge the mono amp.

either one of these should work for 2 12s or another one you find with similar power
